How childish of you to nitpik over the difference between nothing and miniscule. The combined message you bring with all your posts is you believe in minimalistic funding of a skeleton government, along the lines of what it was 230 years ago, despite the obvious differences between the two worlds.
You take a Darwinian approach to the problems of the less gifted, the less fortunate, the ill, disabled, abused or exploited. You're against laws and regulations (and certainly the enforcement of such) that protect American citizens from death and dismemberment. Maybe it's your schtick, but to me you appear to have no heart, no soul, no compassion for your fellow man. You might express sympathy for others, but not if it costs you anything.
As for "my bureaucratic buddies", I have none. Nor am I myself a bureaucrat. You, your buddies, and most definitely Mitt Romney fit that bill much better. A bureaucrat is a member of a bureaucracy and can comprise the administration of any organization of any size. It does not refer strictly to government, but to the private sector and the non-profit/religious sector equally as well.
Being self-employed, it does not refer to me at all by any stretch of the imagination.
